5.0 out of 5 stars Challenging call to live the Love of Christ, 30 Jun 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Life of the Beloved: Spiritual Living in a Secular World (Hardcover)

There is one review that gives this book one star and that reflects in the overall rating. This is a five star book. I listened to it on tape. When he shared about how his life can be described as either being taken (chosen), blessed, broken or given by Christ I pulled the car over to the side of the road and prayed a prayer of thanksgiving for the revelation that came from that simple word. You don't have to agree 100% with Henri's doctrine to read him, and those who pass him over or this book over because he cannot fit in your theological box will miss a great treasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Anyone ever heard of the word 'Pastoral'?, 1 Jan 2004

By	G. Battison (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Also only writing this to counter Mr.Tripe. No, it isn't a theological tome, nor is it effective evangelism by Nouwen's own admission in the epilogue. However, it is pastoral, and powerfully so. Wonderfully simple, yet deeply spiritual in the way that Nouwen uses the Eucharistic symbolism of being taken (chosen), blessed, broken and given as an analogy for the spiritual life. This is not some 'quick fix' book of techniques, principles and methods aimed at achieving happiness, and thank God for that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inclusivism, 26 Sep 2003

By	Revd J. P. Clark "Jason Clark" (Sutton, Surrey England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Life of the Beloved: Spiritual Living in a Secular World (Hardcover)

As others have said the first review below is misleading. But don't ignore it! it shows the problems many christians face who think God hates the world and wants everyone to burn in hell unless they accept some formula and theory they have about Jesus.

Instead read Nouen and see the contrast, of a God who in Jesus is so available, and real. An amazing book to help us connect to God.
